ARA Access and Opportunity Fund

Help strengthen the Association of Rice Alumni’s (ARA) efforts in fostering a sense of belonging and community for all alumni through the creation of an endowment, ensuring continued support for inclusive and representative initiatives in the Rice community.

The ARA Access and Opportunity Fund makes our commitment to building a welcoming and supportive environment a priority today and a permanent part of our future. Through endowed support, we can create sustainable, long-term impact by funding initiatives that promote equity, access, and community engagement in perpetuity.

The ARA Board is proud to support efforts that champion belonging, access, representation, and social impact within the Rice alumni community. Our mission is to create a welcoming environment for all Owls by enhancing the ARA Board’s culture and knowledge, providing resources for lifelong learning and engagement, and partnering with the broader Rice community to foster connection and understanding across campus.
